Chapter 1291

~8 min read 1,461 words

Just as the explosion sound started, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was sleeping on the bed, was startled and jumped up from the bed. Dellinger, who was holding the alchemy bombs on the side, rushed out of the room quickly.

As a researcher, Su Xiao certainly didn't need to fight for his life on the battlefield. Although killing ordinary pirates might yield treasure chests, the probability was too low. Even if he participated in the war, Su Xiao would choose to fight with enemy powerhouses.

At the moment, Su Xiao didn't have this plan. The third ring of the promotion/main quest would be activated in five hours. Moreover, he had to wait for the Donquixote Family to use the alchemy bombs on the battlefield.

There were seven landing points in Dressrosa, all distributed on the south side of Dressrosa. Being on the King's Plateau, Su Xiao had a panoramic view of the battlefield situation.

At least dozens of large ships were approaching Dressrosa. These were all ships of the Big Mom Pirates. These ships didn't approach Dressrosa immediately, but were using bow cannons to bombard the coastline of Dressrosa.

The pirates of the Donquixote Family seemed to be silenced by the bombing. They all hid behind the giant rocks on both sides of the landing point, waiting for the Big Mom Pirates to land.

Boom, boom, boom...

The port was full of artillery fire, and sand flew everywhere. A hundred meters away from the explosion area, hundreds of pirates hid behind giant rocks. They held old-fashioned matchlock guns. What was magical was that these matchlock guns could actually fire continuously.

After the Big Mom Pirates bombarded for a full half hour, their fleet started to approach Dressrosa.

Something unexpected happened to the Big Mom faction. When they landed in the shallow sea area, there was no lead bullet flying as imagined.

Although it was unclear what was going on, the pirates of the Big Mom faction still rushed toward the port.

"Little ones, kill them all. Mom ordered, take Dressrosa. This island is for us to enjoy for three days."

A pirate leader with missing teeth shouted. The pirates under his command laughed out loud. If they could take Dressrosa, this place would be for them to burn, kill, and loot for three days. The beauties on the island were famous far and wide.

Thinking of that scene, the pirates in the shallow sea area felt hot in their lower abdomens, and their laughter became more and more lewd.

"Kill!"

The pirates pulled out the sailor knives at their waists and rushed toward the port in a swarm. Do not think that the ordinary pirates under the Four Emperors were how high-end they were. Pirates are always pirates, and discipline is always worse than the Navy.

When a crowd of pirates rushed to the beach area, the pirates of the Donquixote Family were still hiding in the distance and didn't even fire at them.

"Stop!"

That pirate leader discovered something wrong, but unfortunately it was too late.

Boom, boom...

Dense explosion sounds came, and the beach area instantly turned into a sea of fire.

Miserable wailing came from the sea of fire. If it were only alchemy bombs, there wouldn't be this kind of power. But with Doflamingo's IQ, he certainly wouldn't just use alchemy bombs to meet the enemy.

Doflamingo first sent people to bury a large number of cannonballs in the beach area, and with the help of alchemy bombs being able to be remotely detonated, he detonated those cannonballs.

In an instant, the beach area turned into a human purgatory. This scene also appeared in the other five landing points. The only one that didn't step into the trap was the pirate troop led by Charlotte Katakuri. He couldn't possibly be ambushed by traps.

Although Charlotte Katakuri's Observation Haki was powerful enough to predict the future, he could only predict the short future.

In the fourth floor of the villa area, Su Xiao witnessed the explosion at the port through a telescope. At the same time, he received a large number of prompts.

【You obtained 1 Pirate Reputation point.】

【You obtained 4 Pirate Reputation points.】

【You obtained 1 Pirate Reputation point.】

【You obtained 1 Pirate Reputation point.】

Su Xiao's plan succeeded. Although the Pirate Reputation was not as much as he imagined, it was a success.

Su Xiao's plan was not to drill loopholes, but to achieve it entirely by his own ability.

First of all, Su Xiao had to have the strength to negotiate with Doflamingo. Secondly, he had to master how to manufacture alchemy bombs and had to have a certain reputation in the Pirate World, thereby letting Doflamingo believe that he had the ability to manufacture alchemy bombs, etc.

Numerous conditions were indispensable. Although Su Xiao and Doflamingo could turn against each other at any time, the current situation was the result Su Xiao wanted.

Being able to obtain benefits without taking risks, why would Su Xiao have to carry a blade and kill until he was covered in blood among pirates?

Pirate Reputation gradually improved. Su Xiao came to the stone table and continued to manufacture alchemy bombs. During his spare time, he checked the current Pirate Reputation ranking.

【First Place: Kutu (Fifth Tier), 4500 Pirate Reputation points.】

【Second Place: Qian Meng (Fifth Tier), 2780 Pirate Reputation points.】

【Third Place: Performer (Fifth Tier), 2176 Pirate Reputation points.】

【Fourth Place: Sen (Fifth Tier), 1902 Pirate Reputation points.】

【Fifth Place: Savage Stone (Fifth Tier), 1877 Pirate Reputation points.】

The top five of Pirate Reputation had already been occupied by Fifth Tier contractors. Su Xiao was now in seventh place, with a total of 1463 Pirate Reputation points.

The first-place Kutu was very beastly. This guy had a full 4500 Pirate Reputation points, but Su Xiao didn't care. His Pirate Reputation now was improving at a not-fast-not-slow speed.

Su Xiao was indeed helping the Donquixote Family manufacture alchemy bombs with all his strength. As for weapons like Apollo that could determine the direction of the war, they had to be provided in limited quantities. If provided too fully, and the Donquixote Family successfully beat back the Big Mom Pirates, then Su Xiao would lose out.

What Su Xiao wanted was a sustainable war, preferably fighting for ten days and a half months. Even if he gave up the Paradise Coins, treasure chests, and other income in this world, he had to compete for the rewards of the top two in the Pirate Reputation ranking. The rewards that Fifth Tier contractors valued could definitely make up for the losses in Paradise Coins and treasure chests.

Looking at Kutu's posture, it was clear that he wanted to obtain the first place with an overwhelming advantage. This actually explained another thing, which was that the reward for the first place was something that even Kutu, a powerhouse among Fifth Tier, was very eager for.

While competing with Kutu for the first place, Su Xiao also had to prevent the other party from coming to his door. One didn't need to think to know that with his current strength, he simply couldn't confront a Fifth Tier contractor head-on.

After Su Xiao manufactured alchemy bombs for a while, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang at the window barked, meaning: "Master, you should come and see quickly. The people on the beach are almost fighting until their heads are dog heads."

Su Xiao dropped the alchemy bomb in his hand. Indeed, the beach of Dressrosa was already red, and some locations were still burning with blazing flames.

Su Xiao took out a metal bracket from the storage space and placed the bracket in front of the window. The +13 enhanced Duke of Extinction was semi-fixed on the bracket.

Su Xiao was about four kilometers away from the beach, and the maximum range of the Duke of Extinction was 4762 meters. There was no better sniper point than here.

The Duke Domain ability was activated, and the adaptive scope popped out from the gun body of the Duke of Extinction. At this distance, it was obviously more reliable to choose to lock onto the enemy.

As the war developed to the current degree, ordinary pirates were certainly not worth Su Xiao wasting bullets. He only needed to choose to snipe elite units.

Plus the share after alchemy bombs killed enemies, Su Xiao didn't believe he couldn't surpass Kutu before the war ended.

Su Xiao quickly selected a figure on the battlefield. This guy was named Charlotte Cracker.

"Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, go prepare."

Hearing this, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rushed toward downstairs of the villa. Su Xiao was responsible for sniping enemies, while Xiang Bubu was taking the opportunity to pick up treasure chests. Perfect cooperation.
